History

The house was built in the late Victorian era by the celebrated Arts and Crafts architect C.R. Ashbee. Originally used artists’ studios, the rooms evoke this historic character with exposed beams and bespoke joinery. At the same time, the house is good condition, blending the traditional and the contemporary to create a characterful interior. Finally, the south-facing rooms at the front of the house enjoy views over the River Thames and the Albert Bridge.

The Neighbourhood

Cheyne Walk is one of the most historic streets in London. Over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries it has been home to numerous celebrated figures, including the writers George Eliot and Bertrand Russell, the painters Dante Gabriel Rossetti and J.M.W. Turner, the actress Elizabeth Taylor and the politician David Lloyd George.

Today, the house is exceptionally well positioned. To the south is the Thames Embankment, with the Albert Bridge leading to Battersea Park. To the north is the King’s Road, with its excellent range of restaurants and shops. In addition, the beautiful Chelsea Physic Garden is just a short walk away.
